FIELD: medical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: device has gastric canal having lateral holes, intestinal canal and unit for separating the canals in proximal end. The gastric canal is cylindrical tube having hollow conic end piece at one of its ends. The intestinal canal is flexible cylindrical radiopaque tube that is more rigid than the gastric canal tube. It is loosely built in into the gastric canal and protruding outside to some length enough for bringing the distal end piece of the intestinal canal 40-50 cm far behind the Treitz ligament. The conic end piece of the gastric canal is connected to the intestinal canal owing to its being tightly compressed.
